All shared work must have a comment for context. You must write a comment explaining any work that you post for feedback. The work’s objective, its audience, your design decisions, etc. This information is necessary to allow people to understand your project and provide feedback.
No basic/repeated questions. Please Google your question first, and then use the search function on Reddit to see whether someone else has asked your question already. This also applies to font identification questions: use r/identifythisfont instead.
This is not a “homework” forum. This is not a place to pick the brains of other designers to do your job for you. You can ask questions, or post asking for inspiration, but please don’t cross the line to getting other users to do your work for you.

Hi! I recently purchased a 1927 home. The bathroom has this tile on the walls. They are 6x3 inch tiles. I am doing some remodeling and would like to keep the tile and restore the rest of the bathroom. Wanted to know if anyone can advise if this is likely the original tile or from a remodel in a later decade. I tried searching for the tile using the image and couldn't find anything. Thanks for taking a look. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Guys, I will soon start my own fashion brand in Germany, and I am looking for good sweater and t-shirt manufacturers that are really good quality.
Looking for night stands that coordinate with this bed frame. I’m not wanting to spend tons of money, but I am struggling to find something that coordinates with the bed frame I have.
Thoughts on whitened sage (behr) paint? Thinking about it for my sons south facing bedroom but not totally in love.
Salutations good people! Welcoming critique for this brand that I created over the course of an evening as a challenge. A memorable, distinctive brand of chocolate in the "masstige" market. Premium but attainable.
The audience is straightforward: Anyone who is broken-hearted by rejection. A bite of gourmet bitterness for the spurned lover!
The brief was simple: Make a premium brand of chocolate that appeals to a large group of people; make the act of unwrapping pleasurable, distinctive and memorable through layered design.
The dark maroon sleeve is meant to go around the length of the bar, and percentage sticker holds down the sleeve and will be peeled off as the first step.
I only spent about 4 hours to concept, block, design and mock-up the entire thing. I didn't use stock mock-up. I made it quickly on my own using bevel and shadow layer effects. Doubled it up with screen and multiply. I can see the shadows are imperfect.
I also made up a story to go with it. What do you reckon? Would you buy it? A penny for your thoughts!
I'd be keen to know what kind of taste you'd anticipate from just looking at the packaging. And why?
Oh, and also, I did NOT use Adobe. I used PhotoLine end to end. Like the senators in Rome of old who ended their speeches by saying, "Carthage must be destroyed," I will finish this post with a customary: "Adobe must be destroyed!"
Thank you!
Hi everyone, I’d like to buy a good and complete book on color theory and harmony , something that helps understand what colors go well with each other and why etc ..

As the title says, I've never heard of an intern role for a director position. Does this just seem like a temporary hiring position before taking you on full time if they like you?
Greetings, I am asking for help finding the software that this channel https://www.youtube.com/@NODEtv/videos uses to make designs and prototypes, whether it is a cad software or any other type of software.
Hi everyone! So to give some context, I'm a college student from Portugal with a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Design and currently working on my Masters degree also in Multimedia Design. In my university, to finish your masters you can choose to spend your second year either researching and writing a thesis, creating a personal project or being an intern for a company.
Something that has always interested me was the possibility of working remotely to companies in other countries, mainly because in my country design still isn't one of the most respected markets, and on top of that, salaries and the economy here aren't the best either.
Working remotely would grant me the chance to get a higher paying job, hopefully in a market where design is more well valued, whilst being able to stay here and enjoy life at the same cost as everyone else (only with higher pay).
I'm thinking about using my second year of studies to apply to companies abroad to work remotely as an intern to finish my Masters, not only to really get a feel for what working remotely really is like, but also to (hopefully, if the whole thing goes well) be offered to stay there after my internship is over.
The problem is that I'm finding it hard to find companies and studios abroad that have remote work programs. I focus mostly on the areas of 3D modeling, video editing, audio editing etc, but I'm also proficient at Photoshop, ilustrator etc.
One of my professors actually lives here In Portugal but works with product visualization for a company in the Netherlands, and he was one of the people who actually told me to go for it and to try it out as it could be something really good for me.
So that's the thing. What companies and studios do you guys know out there that allow you to work remotely? Especially in 3D like modeling, product visualization, architecture etc.
Germany, Netherlands, and others, preferably in Europe but not limited.
Let me know please. And if you work remotely, what's it like? Tell me your stories, please.

Hey I am making a custom dashboard in my F100 and I was wondering if anyone had some design ideas for when I decorate it? I really just need some kind of idea on what color and if I should even go artistic with it? I kind of what it to be unique and never seen before just like the rest of the truck.
Hi everyone,
So as part of my college course we had a one week design task set up by a client. We were given a problem and 4 days to design something for it. Just for reference we had to design a booklet. Since this was 4 days we created a prototype with images we sourced from Pinterest, and used those for the booklet covers and page colours, but all the other info was sourced ourselves. The images we sourced from Pinterest were the overall aesthetic we were aiming for the booklet prototype. I sourced and referenced these pictures.
HOWEVER, we ended up winning, our speaker for our group never mentioned that those images were not ours, and they want to fund and implement the booklet now. I was very worried about this and emailed my tutor to explain the misunderstanding. We only had 4 days and would have happily created our own covers given we had more time.
I’ve covered our group by referencing and emailing my tutor but I’m so afraid that it’s all kinda messed up now and we won all for nothing. It’s a shame because we weren’t explained anything to do with this at the start and would be happy to continue the project and create our own images. The images are just pretty pink designs we liked and wanted as the aesthetic of our booklet.
Have we fucked up? Feels like we have.
Does anyone have any portfolio/website inspo that does a great job in presenting a press section?
Thanks!
When creating a client on Basecamp it has you enter their company, I have been putting this under their name so it's says they're the company and the client, should I be putting them under my company? I also set up the contractors, would they be moved to under the contractor when designated or does that matter?
I’m opening a Mexican restaurant called “El Ranchito” which translates to “the small ranch” it’s a decent size bar and we cannot figure out what to do with the middle of it
I've made a custom charcoal typeface logo for a friends brand and recently we spoke about it being a stamp instead of a sticker. Does anyone have experience with turning a logo/typeface that's detailed into a stamp? I'm thinking I need to try making it more solid so it can be cut better but not sure.
I’m an art director and senior motion and graphic designer working in a tech company, where my main responsibilities revolve around branding and advertising projects. Lately, I’ve been looking to expand my skillset beyond the creative side and improve my strategic and leadership abilities within the design industry. Let me know guys if you recommend any online course. I'm open to all your suggestions.
I’m looking to print a map that’s very detailed, about 3-4 feet with custom boundaries that I have on an XLE file… I was curious if there were any digital tools to help me design and print a map for decor?
Sorry in advanced if this isn’t the right subreddit
I ask for your feedback and if possible give me tips on how to improve
Rough draft of a new menu design and I don't know if I like it or if it's too busy and doesn't have enough white space. Suggestions?
